'''Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler''' is an [[Extra Mode]] that appears in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', which is unlocked after the Story Mode is complete. In it, the player plays as [[Magolor]], who has been stranded deep within [[Another Dimension]] and has lost most of his magical powers, gaining a ragged monochrome look in the process. Throughout this adventure, Magolor can defeat enemies to gain [[Magic Point]]s, which he can then use to upgrade his magical abilities. He can also find [[Fruit Fragment]]s to unlock new skills and attacks. Along the way, Magolor will travel through more than 20 stages and fight different variants of bosses from the Main Mode (such as a watery version of [[Goriath]] and a fiery version of [[Fatty Puffer]]), with the goal being to eventually open a portal to return home. Like with the Main Mode, Magolor Epilogue can be played with up to [[multiplayer|four players]], though everyone plays as (presumably non-[[canon]]) differently-colored Magolors.

As a result of his defeat at the hands of [[Kirby]] and friends, Magolor has been banished to the deepest depths of another dimension and stripped of most of his powers, gaining a ragged, monochrome outfit in the process. Unbeknownst to him, the [[Master Crown]]'s remnants have also followed him. When Magolor wakes up, he finds himself significantly weakened. After Magolor scouts the new area for a bit and defeats an ambush of enemies, Magolor is able to recover a [[Fruit Fragment]], which restores a bit of his magic.

The fragment teleports Magolor to the Ethereal Altar, where it lights one of five torches, thus setting Magolor's goal in action: to light all of the torches and recover the full power of his magic. Magolor explores four distinct dimensions, where he finds more Fruit Fragments by defeating elemental bosses. After all five torches at the Ethereal Altar are lit, the fragments merge to form [[Gem Apple|a red fruit]] — but before Magolor can retrieve it, the remnants of the Master Crown coalesce into [[Crowned Doomer]], which consumes the fruit. Magolor destroys this Doomer, but with the Ethereal Altar in ruins, the Master Crown once again emerges and possesses the red fruit to form [[Master Crown#As a boss|a demonic tree]]. After Magolor weakens the crown, he pulls out a sword from the rubble and transforms it into his own [[Ultra Sword]], atoning for his misdeeds and seemingly destroying the crown for good.

With a small sapling left from the tree's defeat, Magolor comes across a portal that allows him to escape this dimension. The portal sends him and the sapling to [[Dream Kingdom|a parallel universe]], which also changes Magolor's outfit to a new one consisting of green and white. When Magolor comes across a castle town, he plants the sapling in the town square, allowing it to begin growing into [[Gem Apple|a fruit-bearing tree]]. Finally, he sets up [[Magolor's Shoppe|shop]], happily starting a new life in this alternate world.

There are 24 main stages in Magolor Epilogue, spread across four "areas". Most of the main stages keep [[score]] in the form of Magic Points, which are earned by defeating enemies or finding them in various places in stages. Additional Magic Points may be earned by scoring "combos" on enemies, with each additional hit adding one point to the combo. At the end of each stage, the game will present the total number of Magic Points earned, and, if applicable, award a [[medal]] based on the result, similar to the scoring system for stages in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''. Once Magolor gains enough Magic Points, he can enter the "[[Magolor's Magical Skills]]" menu to spend them to upgrade his abilities. If he wants to learn new skills and attacks, he needs to find Fruit Fragments scattered around the realms, which are collected from bosses in a similar way to the ship parts of the [[Lor Starcutter]] in the Main Mode. The final area, the Ethereal Altar, is unlocked once the other four areas are complete.  

==Levels and stages==

The main hub of Magolor Epilogue is subdivided into five "areas", which are analogous to levels in the Main Mode, though they are all connected together into one singular hub. As Magolor clears each stage, he can progressively unlock more and more of the hub by dispelling the clouds and gaining new skills that allow him to traverse certain barriers. There are also some hidden Magic Points in the hub itself that can be found. Each area, excepting Ethereal Altar, has up to four main stages, a boss stage, and a handful of extra stages. They are as follows:
